Online Dating for Dummies, Part 2

Dang, Bobby, a sequel!

Online dating seems to work well for me. I am not trying to vent in this post. I did want to share some observations.

If you are new to this, there are only two obvious things to do. You can either find somebody, or sit on your ass and wait for somebody to find you. For some strange reason, this is not always as easy as it looks. If we break this down into the individual modes, we have active and passive.

Since we are all really horny and want to get laid, we can start with the active mode. What this involves is determining what you would want and expect from a potential partner, searching them out, and making contact. That is the basic part. This should be a simple matter of determining priorities, doing the appropriate search, and taking the obvious to the bank. For Fred Average, this approach is almost always a waste of time and effort. Over 90 percent of online failures are generated this way. The appropriate search criteria may be iffy. If you desire any response, the highest priority in the search should be activity. Response in no way guarantees success. If you are bringing enough money to the table to land Miss Barbie America, cut to the chase and pay the .

If we flip this over and attempt the passive approach, it is equally challenging. This method involves trolling your virtual worm around the internet and hoping somebody nibbles on it. This requires as much planning like the active method, yet a little different. Instead of chasing the partners you want, you let the potential partners that want you chase you. In this case, the probability of success increases by a minimum of a factor of 5. If you like surprises, this may be the way to go. In the purest form of this, you have eliminated your own search criteria, and allowing yourself to be subjected to that of others.

Both of these methods are extreme examples. Maximum happiness is actually a fusion of both methods. I intend to discuss those in a later post.

Thanks for reading,

Bobby
